High-tech companies in the region will continue to grow and create jobs

Three companies and five funds from Northeast Ohio collectively won $17M in funding from two Ohio Third Frontier programs. This funding will enable high tech companies in the region to continue to grow and create jobs.

Bizdom Fund. Collaborators were Rock Ventures and The Quicken Loans Family of Companies.

Lorain County Community College Foundation. The collaborator was Great Lakes Innovation & Development Center.

Says Jon Elsasser, Fund Manager of the Impact Angel Fund, a new fund based in Stark County: “Receiving the Third Frontier matching award is an important component of the effort to foster entrepreneurism and create new businesses and economic growth in our multi-county region. JumpStart played a key role in developing our proposal and building the credibility of our operational capacity and quality of deal flow.”
